Ubuntu

No sound Gnome Ubuntu (and other distros)

Asked by Ruben

Im running Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS 64-bit on a Sony Vaio PCV-A1112L and no matter what distro I use (Manjaro, Debian, Ubuntu Gnome( I don't get any sounds. I've check to see if anything is muted, if I have other options available for sound, checked the alsamixers. I've also checked for updates for any proprietary drivers. Live USBs also don't have any sound

$ aplay -l

Do you get sound in headphones?

Try:

killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* ~/.config/pulse*

Wait 10 seconds and reboot

I didn't add sudo, why did you add it?

In this case it doesn't matter but if a command needs to be prefixed with sudo then I will add it. Adding sudo randomly to commands because you feel like it can damage your OS.

If you reboot now is it OK?

Sorry. No, still no sound available after reboot.
